Overview
An important aspect of this
Rider's Manual is that it can
be used for quick and easy
reference. Consulting the
extensive index at the end of this
Rider's Manual is the fastest way
to find information on a particular
topic or item. Refer to Chapter
2 for an initial overview of your
motorcycle. All maintenance and
repair work on the motorcycle
is documented in Chapter 12.
This record of the maintenance
work you have had performed on
your vehicle is a precondition for
generous treatment of goodwill
claims.
When the time comes to sell
your BMW, please remember
to hand over this Rider's Manual;
it is an important part of the motorcycle.

Equipment
When you purchased your BMW
motorcycle, you chose a model
with individual equipment. These
operating instructions describe
the optional equipment (OE)
offered by BMW and selected
optional accessories (OA).
This explains why the manual
may also contain descriptions
of equipment that you might
not have selected. Please
note, too, that on account of
country-specific differences, your
motorcycle might not be exactly
as illustrated.
If your motorcycle contains
equipment that has not been
described, its description can be
found in a separate manual.
Technical data
All dimensions, weights and
power ratings stated in the
operating instructions are quoted
to the standards and comply with
the tolerance requirements of the
Deutsches Institut für Normung
e.V. (DIN).
Technical data and specifications
in this rider's manual serve as
reference points. The vehiclespecific data may deviate from
these, for example as a result of
selected optional equipment,
the national-market version or
country-specific measuring
procedures. Detailed values
can be taken from the vehicle
registration documents and
signs on the vehicle, or can be
obtained from your authorised
BMW Motorrad Retailer or
another qualified service partner
or specialist workshop. The
specifications in the vehicle
documents always have priority
over the information provided in
this rider's manual.
Currency
The high safety and quality
standards of BMW motorcycles
are maintained by constant
development work on designs,
equipment and accessories.
Because of this, your motorcycle
may differ from the information
supplied in these instructions.
Nor can BMW Motorrad entirely

or provide assistance during riding, for example assistance systems. In addition, control units
enable comfort or infotainment
functions.
Information on data that has
been stored or exchanged can
be obtained from the manufacturer of the vehicle, for example
via a separate booklet.
Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified with a
clear vehicle identification number. Depending on the country,
the vehicle identification number, the number plate and the
corresponding authorities can
be referenced to ascertain the
vehicle owner. There are also
other ways to use data obtained
from the vehicle to trace the rider
or vehicle owner, for example
using the ConnectedDrive user
account.

formation. Information can be
temporarily or permanently stored
on the vehicle condition, component loads, incidents or errors.
This information is generally used
to document the condition of a
component, a module, a system
or the surrounding area, for example:
Operating conditions of system
components, for example filling
levels, tyre pressure
Malfunctions and faults in important system components,
for example light and brakes
Response of the vehicle in
special riding situations, for
example engagement of the
driving dynamics systems
Information on incidents resulting in damage to the vehicle
The data is necessary for the
provision of control unit functions.
Furthermore, the data is used to
detect and rectify malfunctions
and to enable the vehicle manufacturer to optimise vehicle functions.
The vast majority of this data is
non-permanent and is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only
a small amount of the data is
stored in incident or fault memories as required by events.
If services are accessed, for example repairs, service processes,
warranty cases and quality assurance measures, this technical information can be read out of the
vehicle together with the vehicle
identification number.
The information can be read out
by a BMW Motorrad Retailer or
another qualified service partner or specialist workshop. The
legally stipulated socket for onboard diagnosis (OBD) in the
vehicle is used to read out the
data.
The data is obtained, processed
and used by the relevant parts of
the retailer network. The data is
used to document the technical
conditions of the vehicle, to help
with error localization, to comply
with warranty obligations and to
improve quality.
In addition, the manufacturer has
various product monitoring obligations arising from product liability legislation. To meet these
obligations, the vehicle manufacturer requires technical data
from the vehicle. The data from
the vehicle can also be used to
check warranty claims from the
customer.
Error and incident memories in
the vehicle can be reset during servicing or repair work by
a BMW Motorrad Retailer or another qualified service partner or
specialist workshop.
If required, data can be entered
in the entertainment and communication system of the vehicle, for

Multimedia data, such as music
for playback
Contacts data for use in connection with a communication
system or an integrated navigation system
Entered destinations
Data on the use of internet
services. This data can be
stored locally in the vehicle
or is located on a device that
is connected to the vehicle,
for example smartphone, USB
stick, MP3 player. If this data is
stored in the vehicle, the data
can be deleted at any time.
This data is transferred to third
parties only if personally requested within the context of using
online services. This depends on
the selected settings when using
the services.
Incorporation of mobile end
devices
Depending on the equipment,
mobile end devices connected to
the vehicle, for example smartphones, can be controlled using
the operating elements of the
vehicle.
The image and sound of the mobile end device can then be output via the multimedia system.
At the same time, specific information is transferred to the
mobile end device. Depending
on the type of integration, this includes, for example, position data
and additional general vehicle information. This enables optimal
use of the selected apps, for example navigation or music playback.
The type of additional data processing is determined by the
provider of the respective app.
The scope of the possible settings depends on the corresponding app and the operating
system of the mobile end device.

are subject to the responsibility and the data protection and
operating conditions of the individual provider. The vehicle manufacturer has no influence on the
content that is exchanged in this
instance. Information on the type,
scope and purpose of the data

Fuel reserve
The fuel quantity remaining in
the fuel tank once the fuel reserve indicator light switches on
depends on the riding dynamics.
The more the fuel moves around
in the fuel tank (caused by frequent changes in lean angle, frequent braking and accelerating),
the harder it is to determine the
fuel reserve. For this reason, it is
not possible to accurately state
the fuel reserve.
After the fuel reserve indicator light has switched
on, the odometer for the fuel reserve TRIP R is automatically
displayed.
The range remaining with the
available fuel reserve depends on
the riding style (on consumption)
and the fuel quantity available
when the indicator light switched
on.
After a refuelling stop, the distance counter for reserve fuel is
reset if the amount of fuel in the
tank is greater than the reserve
quantity.

This motorcycle has a
symmetric-beam low-beam
headlight. If the motorcycle
is ridden in a country where
the opposite rule of the road
applies, its symmetric lowbeam headlight means that
no measures are necessary to
prevent the headlight beam from
dazzling oncoming traffic.

Headlight beam throw is generally kept constant when spring
preload is adjusted to suit load.
However, a spring preload adjustment might not suffice if

and to suit spring preload.
An uneven surface requires
softer damping than a smooth

Running in
Brake pads
Engine
New brake pads have to be run
in before they can achieve their
optimum frictional force. You can
compensate for this initial reduction in braking efficiency by exerting greater pressure on the
levers.
Until the first running-in check,
vary the throttle opening and
engine-speed range frequently;
avoid riding at constant engine
rpm for prolonged periods.
Try to do most of your riding during this initial period on
twisting, fairly hilly roads.
Comply with the rpm limits for
running in.

WARNING
New brake pads
Longer stopping distance, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good
time.
Tyres
New tyres have a smooth surface. This must be roughened by
riding in a restrained manner at
various heel angles until the tyres
are run in. This running in procedure is essential if the tyres are
to achieve maximum grip.

WARNING
New tyres losing grip on wet
roads and at extreme bank
angles
Risk of accident
Ride carefully and avoid extremely sharp inclines.
Brakes
How can stopping
distance be minimised?
Each time the brakes are applied,
a load distribution shift takes
place with the load shifting forward from the rear to the front
wheel. The sharper the vehicle
decelerates, the more load is
shifted to the front wheel. The
higher the wheel load, the more
braking force can be transmitted
without the wheel locking.
To optimise stopping distance,
apply the front brakes rapidly and
keep on increasing the force you
apply to the brake lever. This
makes the best possible use of
the dynamic increase in load at
the front wheel. Remember to
pull the clutch at the same time.
In the event of extreme emergency braking (a situation that is
intensively practised), as part of
which the brake pressure must
be generated as quickly as possible and using all available force,
dynamic load distribution is unable to following the increase in
deceleration and consequently
the brake force cannot be fully
transferred to the roadway.
BMW Motorrad ABS prevents
the front wheels from locking.
warning lights start to flash as
well. The hazard warning lights
switch off automatically as soon
as you start to accelerate and
vehicle speed reaches 20 km/h.
Emergency braking
Wet and dirty brakes
If you brake sharply from a speed
in excess of 50 km/h, the brake
light flashes rapidly as a warning

Anti-lock brake system
(ABS)
How does ABS work?
The amount of braking force that
can be transferred to the road
depends on factors that include
the coefficient of friction of the
road surface. Loose stones, ice
and snow or a wet road all have
much lower coefficients of friction
than a clean and dry asphalt surface. The lower the coefficient of
friction, the longer the stopping
distance.
If the rider increases the brake
pressure to the extent that
the brake force exceeds the
maximum transferable limit,
the wheels start to lock and
the vehicle loses its directional
stability; a fall is imminent.
Before this situation can occur,
ABS intervenes and adapts
braking pressure to the maximum
transferable braking force. The
wheels continue to turn and
the driving stability is retained
irrespective of the road condition.
What are the effects of
surface irregularities?
Surface irregularities can cause
the wheels to lose contact temporarily with the road surface. If
this happens the braking force
that can be transmitted to the
road can drop to zero. If the
brakes are applied under these
circumstances the ABS has to
reduce braking force to ensure
that directional stability is maintained when the wheels regain
contact with the road surface.
At this instant the ABS must
assume an extremely low coef-
ficient of friction, so that the
wheels will continue to rotate under all imaginable circumstances,
because this is the precondition
for ensuring directional stability.
As soon as it registers the actual
circumstances, the system reacts instantly and adjusts braking
force accordingly to achieve optimum braking.
Rear wheel lift
Under very severe and
sudden deceleration, however,
it is possible that the
BMW Motorrad ABS will be
unable to prevent the rear wheel
from lifting clear of the ground.
If this happens the outcome can
be a highsiding situation in which
the motorcycle can flip over.
Rear wheel lift due to severe
braking
Risk of falling
When you brake sharply, bear
in mind that ABS control cannot always be relied on to prevent the rear wheel from lifting
clear of the ground.
What is the design
baseline for
BMW Motorrad ABS?
Within the limits imposed by
physics, the BMW Motorrad ABS
ensures directional stability on
any surface.
At speeds above 4 km/h, within
the limits imposed by physics
the BMW Motorrad ABS can
ensure directional stability
on any surface. Limitations
inherent to the design principle
mean that at lower speeds the
BMW Motorrad ABS cannot
provide optimum assistance on
all surfaces.
The system is not optimised for
special requirements that apply
under extreme competitive situations off-road or on the track.
Special situations
The speeds of the front and rear
wheels are compared as one
means of detecting a wheel's
incipient tendency to lock. If
the system registers implausible values for a lengthy period
the ABS function is deactivated
for safety reasons and an ABS
fault message is issued. Self-diagnosis has to complete before
fault messages can be issued.
In addition to problems with the
BMW Motorrad ABS, exceptional
riding conditions can also cause
a fault message to be issued:
Riding for a lengthy period with
the front wheel lifted off the
ground (wheelie).
Rear wheel rotating with the
vehicle held stationary by applying the front brake (burnout).
Heating up with the motorcycle
on the centre stand or an auxiliary stand, engine idling or with
a gear engaged.
Rear wheel locked for a lengthy
period, for example while descending off-road.
If a fault message is issued on
account of exceptional riding
conditions, you can reactivate
the ABS function by switching
the ignition off and on again.

How important is regular
maintenance?
WARNING
Brake system not regularly
serviced
Risk of accident
In order to ensure that the
BMW Motorrad ABS is always
maintained in optimum condition, it is essential for you to
comply strictly with the specified inspection intervals.
Safety reserves
The potentially shorter braking
distances which BMW Motorrad
ABS permits must not be used
as an excuse for careless riding.
ABS is primarily a means of ensuring a safety margin in genuine
emergencies.
WARNING
Braking when cornering
Risk of accident despite ABS
Invariably, the rider bears responsibility for assessing road
and traffic conditions and adopting his or her style of riding
accordingly.
Do not take risks that would
negate the additional margin of
safety offered by this system.
Automatic Stability
Control (ASC)
How does ASC work?
BMW Motorrad ASC compares
the wheel speeds at the front
and rear wheel. The differential is
used to compute slip as a measure of the reserves of stability
available at the rear wheel. If slip
exceeds a certain limit, the engine management system intervenes and adapts engine torque
accordingly.
Special situations
In accordance with the laws of
physics, the ability to accelerate
is restricted more and more as
the angle of heel increases. Consequently, there can be a perceptible lag in acceleration out of
very tight bends.
The speeds of the front and
rear wheels are compared as
one means of detecting the rear
wheel's incipient tendency to
spin or slip sideways. If the system registers implausible values
for a lengthy period the ASC
function is deactivated for safety
reasons and an ASC fault message is issued. Self-diagnosis
has to complete before fault
messages can be issued.
BMW Motorrad ASC may automatically switch off in the following, unusual riding conditions.
so as to restore stability with the
least possible delay.
Switch the ignition off and on
and subsequently move the
vehicle at a speed over 5 km/h to
reactivate ASC.
Slippery roadway
If the front wheel lifts clear of the
ground under severe acceleration, the ASC reduces engine
torque until the front wheel regains contact with the ground.
Under these circumstances,
BMW Motorrad recommends
rolling the throttle slightly closed
When riding on a slippery surface, never snap the throttle
twistgrip fully closed without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. Engine braking torque can
cause the rear wheel to lock, with
a corresponding loss of stability.
The BMW Motorrad ASC is unable to control a situation of this
nature.
On very loose surfaces (e.g. sand
or snow) ASC control interventions may reduce the driving
power at the rear wheel to an
extent where the rear wheel no
longer rotates sufficiently. In this
case, BMW Motorrad recommends to temporarily switch off
ASC.
Please note that the rear wheel
will spin on loose surfaces and
remember to release the throttle
grip in due time before reaching
firm surfaces.
Then reactivate ASC.

Effect of wheel size on
ABS
The wheel size has a large influence on the functionality of
the ABS system. In particular,
the diameter and the width of a
vehicle's wheels are programmed
into the control unit and are fundamental to all calculations. Any
change in these influencing variables, caused for example by a
switch to non-standard installed
wheels, can have serious effects
on the performance of the control systems.
The sensor rings are essential

If you decide that you would like
to fit non-standard wheels to

Care products
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use the cleaning
and care products you can
obtain from your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer. The
substances in BMW Motorrad
Care Products have been tested
in laboratories and in practice;
they provide optimised care and
protection for the materials used
in your vehicle.
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable cleaning
and care products
Damage to vehicle parts
Do not use solvents such as
cellulose thinners, cold cleaners, fuel or the like, and do
not use cleaning products that
contain alcohol.
ATTENTION
Use of strongly acidic or
strongly alkaline cleaning
agents
Damage to vehicle parts
Dilute in accordance with the
dilution ratio stated on the
packaging of the cleaning
agent.
Do not use strongly acidic
or strongly alkaline cleaning
agents.
Washing the vehicle
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you use BMW insect remover to soften and wash off
insects and stubborn dirt on
painted parts prior to washing
the vehicle.
To prevent stains, do not wash
the motorcycle immediately after
it has been exposed to strong
sunlight and do not wash it in the
sun.
Make sure that the vehicle is
washed frequently, especially
during the winter months.
To remove road salt, clean the
motorcycle with cold water immediately after every trip.
WARNING
Wet brake discs and brake
pads after vehicle wash, after
riding through water and in
rainy conditions
Diminished braking effect, risk of
accident
Apply the brakes in good time
to allow the friction and heat to
dry the brake discs and brake
pads.
ATTENTION
Effect of road salt intensified
by warm water
Corrosion
ATTENTION
Damage due to high water
pressure from high pressure
cleaners or steam cleaners
Corrosion or short circuit, damage to labels, seals, hydraulic

Plastics
ATTENTION
Use of unsuitable cleaning
agents
Damage to plastic surfaces
Do not use cleaning agents
that contain alcohol, solvents or
abrasives.
Do not use insect-remover
pads or cleaning pads with
hard, scouring surfaces.
Trim panel components
Clean trim panel components
with water and BMW Motorrad
solvent cleaner.
Headlight glass and lenses
made of plastic
Remove dirt and insects with a
soft sponge and plenty of water.
NOTICE
Soften stubborn dirt and insects
by covering the affected areas
with a wet cloth.
Clean with water and
sponge only.
Do not use any chemical
cleaning agents.
Chrome
Carefully clean chrome sections
with a generous amount of water
and motorcycle cleaner from the
care series BMW Motorrad Care
Products. This applies especially
where road salt has been in use.
For an additional treatment, use
BMW Motorrad metal polish.
Radiator
Clean the radiator regularly to
prevent overheating of the engine due to inadequate cooling.
For example, use a garden hose
with low water pressure.
ATTENTION

Damage to the rubber seals
Do not use silicone sprays
or care products that contain

Care of paintwork
The long-term effects of materials that are damaging to paint
can be prevented by regular
vehicle washes, particularly if
your vehicle is ridden in areas
susceptible to high levels of air
pollution or natural contamination,
for example tree resin or pollen.
Particularly aggressive materials,
however, should be removed
immediately, otherwise changes
to or discolouration of the paint
can result. These include, for
example, spilled fuel, oil, grease,
brake fluid or bird excrement.
For this, we recommend
BMW Motorrad solvent cleaner
followed by BMW Motorrad gloss
polish for preservation.
Contamination of the paint
surface can be seen particularly
clearly after a vehicle wash.
These areas should be cleaned
immediately using benzine or
spirit, applied with a clean cloth
or cotton pad. BMW Motorrad
recommends that tar spots
be removed using BMW tar
remover. The paint should then
be preserved in these areas.
Paint preservation
If water no longer rolls off the
paint, the paint must be preserved.
For paint preservation,
BMW Motorrad recommends
the use of BMW Motorrad gloss
polish or agents containing
carnauba wax or synthetic wax.
Laying up the
motorcycle
Fill the motorcycle's fuel tank.
Clean the motorcycle.
Remove the battery.
Spray the brake and clutch
lever as well as the side stand
bearing with a suitable lubricant.
Coat bright metal and chromeplated parts with an acid-free
grease (e.g. Vaseline).
Stand the motorcycle in a dry
room in such a way that there
is no load on either wheel.
Restoring motorcycle

BMW Motorrad Service
BMW Motorrad has an extensive
network of dealerships in place
to look after you and your motorcycle in more than 100 countries. Authorised BMW Motorrad
dealerships have the technical
information and the technical
know-how to carry out reliably
all maintenance and repair work
on your BMW.
You can locate the nearest authorised BMW Motorrad dealership by visiting our website:
bmw-motorrad.com
WARNING
Maintenance and repair work
not in compliance with correct procedure
Risk of accident due to consequential damage
BMW Motorrad recommends
having work of this nature carried out on the vehicle by a
specialist workshop, preferably
an authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer.
In order to help ensure that your
BMW is always in optimum
condition, BMW Motorrad
recommends compliance with
the maintenance intervals
specified for your motorcycle.
Have all maintenance and repair
work carried out confirmed in the
"Service" chapter in this manual.
Evidence of regular maintenance
is essential for generous treatment of claims submitted after
the warranty period has expired.
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer can provide information on
BMW services and the work undertaken as part of each service.
BMW Motorrad Service
history
Entries
Maintenance work that has been
carried out is entered in the proof
of maintenance. The entries
are like a Service Booklet and
provide proof of regular maintenance.
If an entry is made in the
electronic service booklet of the
vehicle, service-relevant data is
saved in the central IT systems
of BMW AG, Munich.
If there is a change in vehicle
owner, the data saved in the
electronic service booklet can
also be viewed by the new
vehicle owner. A BMW Motorrad
Retailer or a specialist workshop
can also view data that is stored
in the electronic service booklet.
BMW Motorrad mobility
services
As the owner of a new BMW
motorcycle, in the event of a
breakdown you can benefit from
the protection afforded by the
various BMW Motorrad mobility
services (e.g. BMW Mobile
Service, breakdown service,
vehicle recovery service).
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer will be happy provide information about the mobility services available to you.
Maintenance work
BMW pre-delivery check
Your authorised BMW Motorrad
dealer conducts the BMW predelivery check before handing
over the vehicle to you.
BMW Running-in check
The BMW running-in check
has to be performed when the
vehicle has covered between
500 km and 1200 km.
BMW Service
The BMW Service is carried out
once a year; the extent of servicing can vary, depending on
the age of the vehicle and the
distance it has covered. Your authorised BMW Motorrad dealer
confirms that the service work
has been carried out and enters
the date when the next service
will be due.
For riders with a high mileage
it may be necessary to have
a service before the specified
deadline. In this case, a corresponding maximum mileage is
entered in the service confirmation. If this mileage is reached
before the next service deadline,
the service must be brought forward.
The service-due indicator in the
multifunction display reminds you
about one month or 1000 km
in advance when the time for a
service is approaching, on the
basis of the programmed values.
To find out more about service,
go to:

Objection
The vehicle owner can object
to entries being made by the
BMW Motorrad Retailer or a specialist workshop in the electronic
service booklet along with the
corresponding storage of data in
the vehicle and transfer of data
to the vehicle manufacturer for
the period of time that they are
the vehicle owner. In this instance, no entry is made in the
electronic service booklet of the
vehicle.
